At Ogilvy in San Francisco, we recently launched a website for ZillionTV, a new streaming TV service. ZillionTV has been getting tons of press since the announcement on March 4th. This is our version one site to support ZillionTV’s announcement to the public, and provide information for an important industry conference in Cannes this month. Our developer got some nice particle effects happening in Papervision for this launch, but we have some pretty neat interactivity in prototype for version two of the site, once we have access to all the content that will be available…
Anyway, the service itself is a promising bid for true streaming TV, read about it at Wired, in the New York Times, or on Gizmodo.
Check out the site here.
Mike Shine’s Surf Shack

We checked out an opening for artist / ad guy Mike Shine (of Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners) at the Yerba Buena Folk Art center last night. Pretty cool, he recreated his Bolinas surf shack inside the gallery. His art is a mashup of old mexican movie posters, norse art, and beaux arts re-revival… if that makes any sense. See Unnecessary Umlaut for more pics. Take a peek at Shine’s own site, too.

We caught Mister Ward live at the Palace of Fine Arts. He was there supporting his new album, which is solid and consistent with his other stuff. Great show. He’s a better guitarist than he gets credit for, and damn good at piano too. Also, the sound engineering in this hall was nearly perfect, up there with the best I have ever seen…err, heard. It was like sitting in front of a high quality stereo. And the window projection up there in the right was fun, it changed subtly with the mood of the songs. My favorite was the sunset that moved into dusk with fireflies flitting about… this accompanying a solo song with mellow acoustic slide, heavy on the reverb. Nice work. Check out his official site for tour dates, and catch him if he comes to town.
